I still haven't worked out monsters, weapons, etc. and I'm hunting for some chipsets. But it's progressing, I think, as much as it can in these days.

Here's where to find it: http://www.publishamerica.com/books/4873
Thanks for the help offer, I might take ya up on that. I know ZILCH about CBSs or CMSs, the only reason I did the game in 2K3 is cause I didn't want to do a CBS...LOL

As I said in another thread, my opening sequence is the actual shuttle launch, as best as I could replicate it.
There isn't much to it, except there are these three young astronauts, part of a young astronaut program, who have landed on planet Zircalon, which had been recently discovered. Each astronaut is from a different country. Rebecca DeLorean, 15, is from the United States. Donovan Leach, 17, is from England. Aleksandra "Alex" Ivanova, 16, is from Russia. Those are the three main characters. I'm also trying to work in a 14-year-old computer genius from Japan, Kitsune Yamamoto. I'm trying to decide whether he will be in the hero party, or another person, a native Zircan Elf, will be with the heroes.
Trouble is, Zircalon's already inhabited -- and the current inhabitants aren't too thrilled with the Earthlings' arrival.
Backstory (or what I have of it):
The pressure to succeed in Rebecca's family is stultifying. With both parents being successful in astronomy and science, both Rebecca and her younger brother, Rickey, were pushed to succeed. Rebecca's mother, Kristyn, in particular, is a perfectionist. But Kristyn's past is also quite intriguing. Before she married Rick DeLorean, a decorated U.S. astronaut, she claimed she could talk to aliens and was a famed monster hunter. Will Kristyn's past affect Rebecca?
Donovan grew up in your average, everyday family. A former soccer player, Donovan lost his parents when he was quite young, so he was raised by an aunt named Claudine, who was maid in the household of a wealthy person (I haven't named this person yet). Claudine eventually sends Donovan to a boarding school, where he hears about the astronaut program.
Alex always knew that she was different from the other girls in her small, backward Russian village. Alex preferred video games (her favorites were Asteroids and Space Invaders) to socializing with the other girls, and spent her days dreaming of becoming an astronaut. Her family is dead-set against her becoming an astronaut (or in Russian, cosmonaut), but she persists.

I didn't feel like doing a new thread on this.
Character sets: Done (some tweaking needed)
Caterpillar system: Done (some tweaking needed, name of originator in credits)
Face sets: Done, a couple more to add here and there
Storyline: about half done, some holes in it
Maps: 80% done, a couple more remain
Battlechars: Done (Saikar and Blood Jody)
Monsters: Mostly done, have a few more left to upload and configure.
Need an idea for a minigame, although I do have a sidequest -- not much of one. LOL
First demo: projects.lateralshift.net/voyagetozircalon/files/voyagetozircalon.zip
I have a headache and am leaving in the AM, so enjoy and don't forget to tell me how much it sucks! LOL
:p

That link didn't work for me.
I believe it is http://projects.lateralshift.net/voyagetozircalon/files/Voyage%20to%20Zircalon.zip (http://projects.lateralshift.net/voyagetozircalon/files/Voyage%20to%20Zircalon.zip) since there are spaces in the zip files name.
I only played a small amount, since it kept closing on me due to differant RTP names for files I think..
..Allen walked into a corner in a cave.. and got trapped due to the caterpillar system.... o_o;
The only thing that really bothered me though were the mountain tiles.

The caterpillar system trapped me a bunch too, and the chests could be opened infinite times, and the mosters gave sad amounts of EXP, and I had the darndest time getting out of towns, and your bank system seems not to work, I think.
On the upside you an infintily more flashy intro then I do and the scene where the party flashed their IDs was cool.

Are the caterpillar problems on this game really that bad?

Hey danilynnarthur! Ask me on an IM about how to fix some of those bugs if you are still having problems. Hopefully you will catch me at a time when I am not at class or something for once. ;)
Post by: Xen on September 13, 2004, 03:54:11 PM
Well, this game has LOTS of problems in the events, stuff like vanishing people, the caterpillar system, battle exp earned, I could go on in detail for a long time about the problems I experienced in this game, but I'm not going to. I like the concept of it though so I'm not saying I hate the sight of it. From this work, it tells me that you are a very big newbie. If you want, I would be willing to throw in many pointers for making good story events.....
I believe this game would turn out to be quite good with some advanced help.......

Depends on your definition.

What happened is, I PMed the maker of the cat system to solve one problem but created another...basically what I wanted was when I teleported back to a map that the characters would appear there instead of at the first teleport...which created more headaches. Sigh.
Cantcha tell I'm not a programmer? LOL

first of all: The story line didn't keep me hooked
second: The battle characters arms came through their clothing
thirdly: The caterpillar system was screwy and got you stuck
Fourth: I think it needs a better name
Fifth: I wasn't impressed by the facesets
Sixth: Reaccuring items in chests
Seventh: People disappear when spoken to sometimes
on the good side though
I thought it was good cos the battles weren't too complex
The maps were done well and the database was done well
The music was catchy
The game also gave a girly future theme which is rare
Rare story more players
And I generally think you'll go far if you can sort these problems
Allow my bro to do this even though he is already helpin you
His name is Xen
May good fortune come to you in Charas!
